 This is a translated Korean thriller told through the eyes of a young man. He wakes up one day to a metallic smell, covered in blood and finds his mother's murdered body at the bottom of the stairs. He doesn't remember a thing that happened. He spends the next several frantic days trying to figure it out and what he finally remembers......whoa!!

Told through flashbacks, current day and diary entries, we see there is more going on that what we think!

This isn't your average thriller, as some may think it's slow, but it actually pretty fascinating to learn of the family dynamics and what has caused all of this to happen.
